Internal disagreements over an investigation into harassing phone calls made to the wife of Stephen Miller have led to leadership changes within the FBI. Two veteran counterterrorism supervisors were removed from their positions and demoted after questioning the agency's decision to pursue the case, multiple people familiar with the matter told MS NOW. The target of the calls was Katie Miller, the spouse of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

The personnel actions follow a conflict over the bureau's handling of the investigation and whether the decision to probe the suspected harassment was justified. Both affected supervisors are longtime members of the counterterrorism division, and their removals highlight internal friction over the management of cases involving politically connected individuals.
